5 day post op

$4,000
Day 5 I made it !! Lord knows I'm so over these drains and this recliner!!! My update for you is at day 5 I am completely off meds yay. No pain just discomfort in my lower abdomen and little stinging where the drains are when I'm up walking. I do have Motrin on hand if I need it. I do have a muscle crap in my lower left leg ?!? Not sure what that's about praying nothing serious????!! Will post update in a day or two. Oh and my appetite is normal. I eat oatmeal or toast and eggs for breakfast a protein shake or yoplait fruit smoothie throughout the day lunch fruit and yogurt maybe pbj dinner something lite little or no sodium.

How did you know what size garment to buy since everyone talks about swelling.
your ps will give you one to wear when you leave and instruct you to wear it for two weeks .. maybe longer. I bought the Golds Waist trainer for $10.00 off Walmart's website. It is adjustable to the size you need. I read another girls review and she bought it and worked just fine for her. I tried it on when I bought it and it has 5 zippers so you can make it fit and take in if you need
Thank you I really appreciate how you always respond back (with good information). I pray you are healing well.
I'm doing good especially now those annoying drains are out. Thanks for your prays hun!
I hated the drains too. I had to wear one for 8 days and the other for 11! I know the feeling, but you'll get there girl. Before you know it you'll be feeling better and moving around easier. Your results look good! I like that you're doing the no sodium, I think it helps a lot with the swelling. Happy healing doll! : )

God is good!! Thank you Jesus

God is so good to me!!! I'm so grateful I made it through surgery. Surgery was about 3hrs long. The staff was wonderful I felt in good hands. Sooo my update 1 day post op is little discomfort, taking 2 meds every 4 hrs trying to stay ahead of the pain. Sleeping in recliner first night was ok cat naps here and there. I have 2 drains in the front and recording drainage. I thank God I'm ok and now praying for a healthy mild pain recovery in Jesus name.. Happy healing

Praise God for his goodness. I'm praying for you and look forward to more updates.
Congratulations sweetie !
Did you purchase the abdominal board? I think I may need one. I'm wearing the marena group compression garment with leg support and I think I need more compression at the top of my abs. The garment might be making a crease also. Happy healing!!
@brooklyn01 I used the marena CG as well for 3 months. I too felt as if I needed more compression in the same area. The board and lipo foams are excellent for extra compression. I have 2 lipo foams and I love them. It really works. when ever o feel bloated I put them on at night time and remove in the morning. I stay flat all day. Great investment !
Ladies, I'm happy you are healing well. Could one of you please elaborate on CG, board and lipo foams? Are these necessities? Where did you purchase them? I'm having lipo on thighs and arms and tummy tuck and want to make sure I know what I need to be prepared. Thank you.
I have not bought the ab board yet but I will the pink room is the website they have cgs and 3 boards to choose from
The pink room is the website
Thank you.
As for the lipo foams, I only use them inside any garment over night. I purchased it online. Just type in lipofoam and it will show up.
Thank you. It's so wonderful being able to get advise. Good night.
No problem thats why we all here for :)
I am glad everything went well! I bought the vedette 136 but I didn't wear it for several weeks. I was too swollen. Hope healing is going well!
